the outcome of the 2016 presidential election––that a Democrat be elected president or that a Republican
be elected president? (IF "DEMOCRAT" OR "REPUBLICAN," ASK:) And do you strongly prefer a
(Democrat/Republican), or is your preference not that strong?

President Obama.

Recently, the U.S. Justice Department has demanded that Apple create software to unlock an encrypted
iPhone used by a terrorist in the San Bernardino shootings. Apple is resisting, saying that creating the
software would create a precedent that weakens the security of all of its phones.
Which of the following statements comes closer to your point of view about whether Apple should or should
not cooperate with the Justice Department, or does neither one describe what you think? (ROTATE)
Statement A: Apple should cooperate because this is an issue of national security and in cases like San
Bernardino, the government should have access to all information available to investigate any possible link
with international terrorists.
Statement B: Apple should not cooperate because if they develop this software the Justice Department will
want to use it for other cases not related to national security. This software also might make it easier for
hackers or foreign governments to steal data. +**
